Eventually I pulled away from Caleb and watched him closely.

"I shouldn't have done that." I whispered as a wave of shame washed over me.

I couldn't believe that I'd given in to the temptation. I'd betrayed Ethan without even thinking about it. I was a terrible person.

"It's okay, no one needs to know." Caleb told me.

"That's not the point." I sighed.

I quickly stood up and walked upstairs.

"Where are you going?!" he called after me.

"For a nap." I called back.

I needed to get away from temptation, I couldn't start to feel like this about Caleb. I was a married woman, I was going to be a mother. It was important that I did the right thing.

I curled up in my bed and pulled the blankets over my head. Shutting out the world was the only thing I wanted to do.

I gasped as I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.

"Caleb!" I called worridly.

"Caleb!" I called again when he didn't answer.

"What?" he called upstairs.

"We need to do something, my waters have just broken!" I shouted.
